Tone-Loc

Happy birthday to rapper Tone-Loc who celebrates his birthday on March 3. Many people know Tone-Loc from his worldwide smash singles “Wild Thing” and “Funky Cold Medina.” I think those songs are great but I think it’s a pity that more people are not more familiar with his debut album “Loc-ed After Dark.” Every song on it is great! From the Rufus/Chaka Khan sampled track “On Fire” to the pot munchies tribute “Cheeba Cheeba,” I’ve loved “Loc-ed After Dark” since its release in 1990. In fact, this was the first CD cover I ever got signed. I’ve come a long way since then! Happy birthday Tone!
